Celebs Head To Dallas For First Annual Ellensinpo To Fight Bullying July 8

Childhood bullying is an epidemic growing annually in numbers and affecting families and communities nationwide. Channeling depression, anxiety, and even suicidal effects, the topic of bullying is one that increases in awareness year after year.

A survey from the Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System reported that 19.1 percent of students in Texas had been bullied on school property, and 13.8 percent of students had been electronically bullied (i.e. cyberbullied) during the 12 months before the survey.*

Though daunting, many organizations, community leaders, and programs are coming together for anti-bullying campaigns to put a stop to the staggering statistics.

Powerhouse organizations, Elles Entertainment & The Single Parents and Teens Foundation of Dallas, Inc., joined forces to raise awareness and make an impact for bullying prevention. Over 3.2 million students are victims of bullying each year, which serves as a reminder that bullying prevention must be addressed, and one way to accomplish this is through educating ourselves and our communities. What better way to bring awareness of the bullying epidemic than through a fully immersive and interactive evening filled with speeches by prominent celebrity guest speaker, Romeo Miller, an intimate Q&A session with Miss Texas 2017. There were powerful performances by Leona Lee, Sydney Thomas, and Sarah Cannon that delivered meaningful messages through dance that left the audience in awe! Fashion showcases featuring designers such as Daysia’s Daysies and Highlife Society to name a couple. It was truly amazing to see so much talent come together for such a great cause.

I would like to issue a special thank you to Miss Texas 2017 for the opportunity to conduct your 1st Interview, Romeo Miller for teaching, inspiring, sharing your experiences and wisdom, and Elles Entertainment for allowing me to be a part of this SLAYtastic event.

Reflect on where we have been, where we are now, and where we hope to be in the years to come. The end of bullying begins with you!
